BFG 8800GT nVidia Console Settings

I am wondering should i try to tweak the graphics on my driver for my graphics card or just allow the application to control it? If i should adjust my driver, what should i adjust and to what?

Well i mostly set stuff to application controlled but if you wanna benchmark some stuff you'd set it at it's highest setting

casual gaming just set app.controlled

The only time you might want to force certain things is if you are playing a game that lets say does not have AA or AF etc. You can force those settings for that game via the control panel to make the game look better.

in addition to crushes comment the nvidia panel supports game related card configs , if you happen to come across a game like crush described you can set a profile for that application / game giving you the option to use your card fuly or maybe a little AA in some games

however, way too often forcing anything within the drivers will actually cause conflicts with in a game. these conflicts may range from just worse frame rates to improperly rendered frames to a completely unplayable game. almost never is it a good idea to force with drivers. just because you can does not mean you should.
